Welcome to Thankful Thursday -August 1, 2013

Pictures all compliments of http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.Psalm 105:3-4Hello Sweet Friends,Hope your week has been going well, and that you really enjoyed July,since it is behind us now....lol

Really hard to believe it is August 1st.........Well, my week has been going well.............worked in the yard some, tweaked some things in the kitchen and did some playing, took care of our lil darling. Did a lot of cooking including making gluten free peanut better cookies. Ummm. they are so good, and that

is all I can remember right now, lol that isn't on my list already.So here goes my list for the week.

#1

I am thankful

for the 105 children that were rescued

from Sex Trafficers on Monday, what

a wonderful thing that was to hear........

Glory to God! and grateful thanks to

these FBI agents that pursued it.

#2

I am thankfulfor a nice visit with a good friend this morning, altho, it was shorter than we would have liked it was definitely better than No time. It was really great to get to see her,as it has been a while now..............#3

I am thankfulthat Dee and Jerry have a contract on their home at full asking price. Now this one is what they call a sacrifice of praise, I am really fine with it spiritually cause I truly believe this is the Lord's will for them, and I know and believe their is no safer place for them to be than in theLord's will and I know that it is gonna be worked together for the good of all of us that love the Lord, but, my heart is wishing it wasn't his plan!! lol So I am having hearttrouble with it. Oh these emotions....sometimes you would just like to rip them out an stomp on them.........lolIf you feel led....please pray that their house appraises for the same amount as the selling price, cause sometimes it can differ.................which can causeproblems..............

#4I am thankfulfor a fun day out shopping by myself to drown my sorrows. It actually did help some. lol Bought some things for thebaby, and a couple of things for the house and did somefood shopping as well.#5I am thankfulthat at least Dee will be here for her 29th birthday which is just a few weeks away.#6I am thankfulto have had the priviledge and blessing of having Dee live near us for 29 years, we knew this day might come one day and that is why we savored every minute of it,and we believe the Lord has great things in store for them.

#7I am thankfulthat we have seen the Lord answer prayer in this situation, mercifully in the ways that we asked, so we could be assured it was Him..........and we have NO doubt of that,which is a huge comfort.#8I am thankfulthat I found some cute towels to go in my newly rearranged kitchen. and thankful that hubby and I are really enjoying the fresh and clean new look.

#9I am thankfulthat we live in a day and time where we have email, andtexting and best of all skyping which will make it easierto keep in touch with each other. One person told meskyping was so great cause you actually feel like theperson is in the room with you. So we will definitelybe getting that..............#10I am thankfulthat Dee will not have to work outside the home when she gets to North Carolina, accept maybe one day a month, I think it is......to keep her liscense, or unless she wants to work more. That was one of the pluses to this move..................cause when or if she has children she wants to be able to be home with them.

#11I am thankfulfor the nice time we had with Megan and Brooklyn last night. Scott was out of town so she stayed and had dinner with us.We really had a good time...........#12I am so thankfulthat I have a good relationship with the Lord, and my hubby cause it does make having your children move somewhat less painful. Cause if I didn't have that.... I think this would be really excruciating..............cause I am not just losing a daughter I am losing a best friend as well. We have to keep reminding ourselves that we are only a phone call away.and then there is Rosie too........we are really gonna miss her too. Hubby and I are lookingforward to traveling adventures in Asheville. lol

Well, this is it .........Thanks for coming by for a visit, am glad your are here and hope you say hello, so I know you came by.

Thank you so much for popping in to visit my blog. I really appreciate the time you took to leave such sweet comments. Our homes are a work in progress (just like we are) right? I say we are never done. Like you said, sometimes just picking up a pretty dish towel can take our minds off our sorrow and make us appreciate the simple things. I love your adorable blog and your home looks nice and cozy. Love the open concept of your kitchen and family room and your french doors! I hope you'll stop back by for a visit.

Our son is with us just for the summer break and then he is back in school ( a second time around in school after being laid off from teaching at UCLA) and our daughter is a good 6 hour drive away. Even flying it is 2 hours with the drive to the airport and the flight. I so wish we were closer, but her solution would be for us to move to her and that isn't happening.

Well, it is easy to see where your head is after reading this. My daughter will be 29 in a few weeks too. As you know, I certainly know how you feel, although mine left at 23 and left all alone. She literally left the day after she got out of college and went alone from a very small town to the big city. It was hard then and it is hard now and some weeks (this happens to be one) it is just darned painful. But, I take great solace in the fact that she is happy. I think you will find that as well. We want them to be happy and sometimes, it seems to be at our expense. The phone makes it much better and texting. We don't Skype much, but we do text, send pictures and talk every day at least once. You will adapt, but you won't ever like it! I am glad for them that their house sold...yay!

Hi Nellie!#1, when I think of the heinous act I get sick to my stomach....such great news!#12, if you are ever there visiting I'd love to catch a peek at you...maybe we could head that way for a quick hello!Blessings,Cindy

Oh yes being thankful... Never too much never too often... Just now being thankful not having broken my other wrist when falling avoiding my sweet little poodle, and being thankful not healing her.xoxo from PARISJoëlle

#1. Praise be to GOD when He helps people rescue "the perishing" to bring them out of such wickedness.#2. It is such a blessing to be in the fellowship of family and friends.#3. My prayers have been for their success with selling their home. I'm praying for you and them as they leave their loved ones here to move to their new "home."#4. Keeping ourselves busy when we want to think on "other" things helps very much. I remembered when mom died, I just started painting! When I look at all of the walls I painted in the house, I can't believe I did all of it on my own!#5. It will be an extra special time!#6. That's how we felt when you and Jim went to Germany!#7. The LORD is so Good to give us such comfort in His will.#8. What joy when we find things that assists with these things that make us happy :-)#9. The joys of communication!#10. There will be many things to keep her busy!#11. What a blessing to be grandparents!#12. I'm here for you to take care of Molly!Love to you and yours, Susan

Always remember there will always be someone smarter,
prettier, more talented, more personable, more well off,
more gifted, more liked, or more spiritual, but don't be
jealous or intimidated, it is a huge waste of your time
and energy..............
and Always remember you are that to someone else!
